Description: DESCRIPTION: From the Bobbs-Merrill series 'Childhood of Famous Americans' comes this entry: "Francis Marion - Young Swamp Fox" (1954) by William O. Steele, illustrated (in beautiful silhouettes) by Dirk Gringhuis, 192 pages. Hardcover binding, with aquamarine cloth boards, embossed red & yellow lettering, 7-3/4" x 5-3/4" x 11/16". Overall in VERY GOOD CONDITION. The volume has only a little minor shelf-wear (mainly some bumping, mostly to the corners, a little to the edges) and a faint sticker-shadow (about 3/4" square) toward the middle of the bottom of the front cover (please see my pictures here). The spine has just a hint of fading, but is very solid and tight, though not overly so (I'm not sure this volume has ever actually been read - again, please see my pictures here). The interior and pages are completely free of marks, remarkably clean, with no dogears, almost no age-toning, and just a couple of small dots on the side page edges. From a non-smoking home. AND NOW FOR ALL THE BOILERPLATE (just so we’re clear on terms): My personal belief as a seller is that honesty is the best policy. I know that as a buyer on eBay (which I was for a long time before I became a seller) that truthfulness is the quality I most appreciate in a seller. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about any of my items or their condition and I will respond as soon as is humanly possible. I guarantee my merchandise. If you buy it and then have a problem with it or don’t agree that it’s just as I’ve described it, please contact me. Unless your demands or expectations are just completely unreasonable, more than likely I will take it back and refund your money (that is the price of purchase). Like I said, I started out as a buyer on eBay, so I know what I like to expect from sellers and I try my darndest to provide that to my buyers. FEEDBACK POLICY: I leave positive feedback for buyers as soon as I'm paid. As far as I am concerned, as soon as a buyer pays, he/she has done everything he/she is obliged to do, thank you very much. (Though, of course, I do appreciate having the favor returned in kind once the merchandise has been received and found to be satisfactory.) SHIPPING POLICY: For this item, for U.S. buyers, I offer Media Mail (USPS) shipping and handling to any domestic (US) winning bidder for $4.50; or, if you need it more promptly, Priority Mail (in a padded flat rate envelope) for $8.50. I'll also do FREE local pick-up, if that's more convenient for you. For most buyers outside the U.S., I now ship via eBay’s international shipping services (please consult tables below for rates). PLEASE NOTE: Unlike too many other sellers (in my experience, anyway), I SHIP FAST – oftentimes on the same day as the purchase (depending upon the time of day of the purchase). I also ship on Saturdays, if you make your purchase before noon. And, unlike too many sellers from whom I made my own purchases, when I say I ship, I don’t mean that I pack your item, print up a label and then just sit on it until it’s convenient for me to go to the post office. I mean that I actually take it there and get it into the box before pick-up time, or in the hands of a clerk or a carrier. You want your item ASAP, and I want you to get it ASAP. Simple as that. Thanks very much for looking and please check out my other auctions. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and, again, I will get back to you just as soon as is humanly possible.
